matthewvincent Pillar of the Community United States 3486 Posts	Posted 04/26/2020 7:47 pm YEARS ago I made a ring out of a quarter the old-fashioned way: I hammered it with a spoon. Then I punched out the center and filed it down. My understanding at the time was that prisoners would do this. Any truth to that story? I wore it for so long that it got nice and smooth.
